Website development environment

If you want to only make changes to the website, you only need node.

Prerequisites

• Node (any recent version should work, we use 18.x to build)
• Make (again, any recent version should work)

:::info Depending on platform, some native dependencies might be required. On macOS, run brew install node@18 :::

Instructions

1. Clone the git repo from https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik
2. Run make website-install to install the website development dependencies
3. Run website-watch to start a development server to see and preview your changes
4. Finally when you're about to commit your changes, run make website to run the linter and auto-formatter.
